Super Eagles skipper, Mikel Obi, has expressed shock over the health condition of ex-Chelsea coach, Ray Wilkins.

Wilkins is currently recuperating in a London hospital after suffering cardiac arrest on Saturday morning.

Mikel, 30, who worked two years under the 61-year-old, is devastated about his medical condition.

Mikel’s ex-Chelsea captain, Frank Lampard, wrote on Instagram: “All thoughts and strength with this man and his family tonight. An absolute gentleman.”

Didier Drogba added:“Just found out about the news, be strong Ray Wilkins and family. We blue army are sending you our prayers on this religious day.”

As a player, Wilkins won the FA Cup with Manchester United in 1983 and the Scottish league title with Rangers in 1989.

He made 84 appearances for England and captained his country 10 times.

Wilkins had spells as manager of QPR, Fulham and the Jordan national team.
